My Past Life by Frieda Belakhova

2017-06-03

I picked this up because I wanted to find out more about life in Soviet Russia, and while there is some fine detail here, there wasn’t as much as I’d hoped.

At times it could be a bit rambling, and could have been better structured to flow better. However, I appreciate it wasn’t written to be widely read.

Probably it’s strongest point was giving some attention to anti-Semiticism in the Ukraine, which came up a lot more later in the book.
